Review # 1 was written on 2012-02-08 00:00:00 Marshall Damon The letters are sort of a companion peice to the Sonnets from the Portuguese; they tell the whole beautiful story from the inside (including an oddly touching episode where Flush, EBB's dog, gets stolen just a few weeks before the wedding). Reading these will make you love both poets-- their story is way better than most of the silly love movies out on film!

Review # 2 was written on 2017-04-21 00:00:00 Margie Avellino From this book, I have learned that there are two Rudyard Kiplings, and the fault line runs right through the middle of Letters of Travel, 1892-1913. The first 60% of the book is about his travels to the United States, Canada, and Japan. In those places, he seems to be bored and restless, writing like a paid public relations person for the Chamber of Commerce. The moment he gets off the boat at Port Said for a visit to Egypt and the Soudan, on the other hand, he -- and the book -- comes alive. If you are tempted to read this book, you can skip everything up to his voyage to Egypt.
